During nap times when children are very small, Jessica experienced analysis paralysis and exhaustion; she could not figure out how long the nap would be (20 minutes, 40 minutes, 2 hours), could not relax, and became stuck in a mental loop of deciding whether to do laundry, dishes, or organize things rather than actually resting.

Evidence Quote

their nap times were like torture for me because I think every single nap time they had I immediately went into that analysis paralysis... do I have 20 minutes do I have 40 minutes... the five minutes of quote unquote rest turns into are they going to wake up in 20 minutes do I have 2 hours do I have laundry to do
